If There's Not a Hell (There Ought to Be) - Bobby Bare (Bobby Bare)[00:00:00]
Farmer Jones ran short on seeds[00:00:06]
So he borrowed from his neigbor Sam[00:00:09]
The fall brought Jones a flourishin' crop[00:00:12]
While his neighbor's all burned brown [00:00:14]
Sam had a wife and thirteen kids[00:00:19]
He worked to feed each day[00:00:22]
With hungry pride he begged for help[00:00:24]
And he was turned away [00:00:27]
He was forced to sell his farm[00:00:32]
For half its worth[00:00:34]
To this man he thought a friend to be[00:00:35]
If there's not a hell there ought to be [00:00:39]
Mary Ann was sweet sixteen[00:00:50]
Never had been around[00:00:53]
A child as pure as a mountain stream[00:00:55]
That ran through her hometown [00:00:58]
Then happened by the slick Tom Shark[00:01:02]
In his hand she was clay[00:01:05]
She got caught and faced the shame[00:01:08]
And he laughed and went his way [00:01:10]
Now no one knows where she's at[00:01:15]
Her folks sent her away[00:01:18]
If there's not a hell there ought to be [00:01:22]
Widow Brown worked since Joe died[00:01:33]
And tried to save her pay[00:01:36]
To give nine children beans and bread[00:01:38]
And pretty ties on Sunday [00:01:41]
She got sick and slipped behind[00:01:45]
The rent she had to meet[00:01:48]
They told her they were sorry[00:01:51]
And they kicked her out in the street [00:01:53]
And that same day they[00:01:58]
Came and took her kids away[00:02:01]
If there's not a hell there ought to be [00:02:04]
Young Billy Brown he took a trip[00:02:15]
To keep his country free[00:02:18]
We're all proud of what he done[00:02:21]
For the good old USA [00:02:23]
But somewhere there's a mighty big man[00:02:27]
Who kept this a goin' on[00:02:30]
The personal game wealth and fame[00:02:33]
They did their league all wrong [00:02:35]
All wrapped up in the stars and stripes[00:02:40]
Bill came home one day[00:02:43]
If there's not a hell there ought to be [00:02:46]
If there's not a hell there ought to be[00:02:52]
If there's not a hell there ought to be[00:02:57]
